Summary (English)
FMCSA announces its decision to provisionally renew and consolidate two exemptions previously granted to Cleveland-Cliffs Steel LLC (Cliffs), formerly ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, LLC, from certain hours-of-service (HOS) and parts and accessories requirements of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). The provisional renewal allows Cliffs' employee-drivers with commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) who transport steel coils or scrap metal between the company's production and shipping locations to work up to 16 consecutive hours in a duty period and return to work following at least 8 hours off duty when necessary. The exemption also allows Cliffs to continue using certain specialized coil carrier commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) that do not meet the definition of a "heavy hauler trailer," the requirements concerning the height of rear side marker lamps, tire loading restrictions, and the commodity-specific cargo securement requirements for metal coils. The relief from the requirements of 49 CFR part 393 applies only to Cliffs' specialized coil carrier CMVs; the scrap trucks remain subject to the applicable parts and accessories requirements. FMCSA requests public comment on the provisional renewal and consolidation of the exemptions.
